“Formulated with prebiotics, hyaluronic acid, peptides + squalane to plump skin with hydration”
This product can help improve hydration of the skin with the two types of ingredients.
The first type is called “humectants”:
these ingredients help attract water.
When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from
within deeper layers of the skin. The following ingredients in this product do the job:
glycerin, hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid.
This product also contains ingredients called “occlusives”. They help reduce the speed with which our skin loses moisture to the outside environment. These ingredients also help soften the upper layer of the skin, so it feels less tight and nicer to the touch. The following ingredients in this product do the job: caprylic/capric triglyceride, squalane.
“improve the look of fine lines and wrinkles”
This product does not contain ingredients that are able to reduce fine lines and wrinkles or help with skin elasticity, but it can improve the look of the skin temporarily through moisturization. Well-moisturized skin might also be able to repair the sun damage better.This ingredient - lactococcus ferment lysate - could be helpful for preventing or repairing signs of aging in theory, but there is no evidence that it actually works.

Used to create a thicker product consistency
More about Pentaerythrityl tetraisostearateForms a protective film on the surface of the skin to prevent moisture loss. Gives a velvety feel to products while reducing tackiness
More about Isononyl isononanoateActs as a solvent for other ingredients. Speeds up the absorption of other ingredients into the skin
More about PropanediolOne of the best moisturizing ingredients. Naturally present in skin. It attracts water to the upper layer of the skin working as a humectant
More about GlycerinA good mix of fatty acids that forms a protective layer on the skin. Improves the shelf life of products. Derived from coconut and glycerin
More about Caprylic/capric triglycerideOne of the best moisturizing ingredients. Attracts water into the upper layer of the skin
More about Sodium hyaluronateOne of the best moisturizing ingredients. Attracts water into the upper layer of the skin. A version of it is naturally present in skin
More about Hydrolyzed hyaluronic acidAttracts water into the upper layer of the skin
More about Sodium hyaluronate crosspolymerAttracts water into the upper layer of the skin
More about Hydrolyzed sodium hyaluronateA type of hyaluronic acid that works as an excellent moisturizer by attracting water into the upper layer of the skin. Is typically feels less sticky on the skin compared to the usual hyaluronic acid
More about Sodium acetylated hyaluronateAn oil naturally present in skin. Works as an emollient to soften the skin and form a protective layer on its surface without a greasy feeling.
More about SqualaneCannot penetrate the skin barrier so is not particularly useful in skincare products
More about CollagenConsists of remains of dead bacteria cells. Is likely helpful in attracting water to the upper layer of the skin. Might be helpful in reducing inflammation and neutralizing free radicals in skin
More about Lactococcus ferment lysateA fermentation product created by bacteria Lactobacillus. The fermented product has anti-bacterial properties and might be helpful in calming down inflammation, but studies are lacking. Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin. Can be used as a preservative
More about Lactobacillus fermentA non-living ingredient made by fermentation with the bacteria Lactobacillus. It can help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and might help reduce inflammation
More about LactobacillusA plant extract that might have some antioxidant properties, but mostly used in cosmetics for its color
More about Beta vulgaris root extractA plant extract that can contain an active compound curcumin, that may have some anti-inflammatory properties when applied to the skin, but solid research is lacking and the typical concentration used in skincare products is too low. Can be an irritant
More about Curcuma longa root extractCan have some moisturizing properties due to its sugar content
More about Pyrus malus fruit extractA plant extract that can contain an antioxidant compound
More about Citrullus lanatus fruit extractA plant extract tha can have anti-oxidant properties, but evidence of effectiveness in skin is lacking
More about Vaccinium angustifolium fruit extractA plant extract containing sugars that might help attract water to the upper layer of the skin. Is claimed by the manufacturer to help reduce pore size but evidence is lacking
More about Lens esculenta fruit extractHelps attract water to the upper layer of the skin. Might have some anti-oxidant properties
More about Hydrolyzed rice proteinHelps attract water to the upper layer of the skin. Is claimed to support the growth of "good" bacteria in skin (as a "prebiotic"), but the research is lacking
More about InulinHelps attract water to the upper layer of the skin
More about Alpha-glucan oligosaccharideAn exfoliating and moisturizing alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA). Typically causes less irritation than other AHAs, for example, glycolic acid. At high concentrations (about 15%), lactic acid can help reduce lines and wrinkles. Recent studies show that lactic acid can support the "good" bacteria living on skin's surface (healthy skin microbiome)
More about Lactic acidNaturally present in skin and helps to attract water to its upper layer
More about Sodium pcaA preservative that comes from radishes fermented by a bacteria. New research suggests that the preservation properties in the ingredient come from an ammonium salt that is not present naturally in radish root but used in its cultivation. Is problematic because the exact amount of the preservative agents is difficult to determine
More about Leuconostoc/radish root ferment filtrateA plant extract that helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and might have some anti-oxidant properties
More about Polymnia sonchifolia root juiceHelps preserve products and creates a nice product texture
More about Caprylyl glycolHelps attract water to the upper layer of the skin. Is often used to adjust the pH level of the product
More about Sodium lactateHelps thicken the product formula and create a nice product formulation
More about CarrageenanUsed to preserve products, dissolve other ingredients and create a nice product texture
More about Pentylene glycolUsed to stabilize the product formulation and can help absorb oil
More about MaltodextrinUsed to create a nice product texture and help delivery of other ingredients. Might be somewhat helpful in attracting water to the upper layer of the skin
